Who's pointing the gun to Dorsey's head telling him to pick an OT?

Albert was only franchise tagged.
No clear #1 overall prospect.
Every QB prospect sucked that year and were all 2nd round level players at best.
Top defensive players all had red flags.
No clear "next great WR" available worth the #1 overall pick. Plus just signed Bowe to a big deal.
Secondary guys sucked that year as evidenced by Dee Milliner's crapfest of a rookie year.
Clearly no LBs worth the #1 overall pick.
The cleanest group, by far, was the OL group at the top. Fisher just happened to be the one that they judged to have the highest ceiling, plus he would theoretically allow us to move on from Albert in 2014 or trade him in that draft (which didn't happen).
